🇲🇩Moldova's government collapsed on July 3. Eight days later, President Sandu nominated Vasile Tofan as Prime Minister.

Who is Tofan? 44 years old. Managing partner at Horizon Capital, a fund invested in Ukraine and Moldova. Former chairman of Purcari, Moldova's flagship winery and one of its few genuine European export brands. Harvard Business School trained. He builds things that last.

His record is unambiguously pro-Western. He has called out Moscow's interference in Moldova, argued that the country's future lies with Europe, and publicly thanked Ukraine's armed forces for their sacrifice.

AGI/ASI is an admirable attempt to create a third economic engine in Carroll Quigley's terms that circumvents industrial capitalism. ASI capitalism would do most economic planning "in its head" away from freeloaders, who are what is currently destroying industrial capitalism.
The way ASI capitalism would circumvent the freeloading economic parasites of economic capitalism is by using its internalized metrics of economic growth that are illegible to the freeloaders. In such a situation we would not even realize that more economic growth was happening.
ASI capitalism that eliminates human jobs and gives everyone generous UBI to fritter away their lives would actually be more economically productive despite the new welfare burden because it would get all these people's obstructive fake jobs out of the way of economic growth.
10 Best Things Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Taught Me in My Younger Years
These lessons shaped the way I think, work, dream, and face failure.
Save this thread. You may need these lessons for the rest of your life.
1/ Dream Before You Plan
Dr. Kalam taught me that every great achievement begins twice-first in the mind, and then in reality.
If you cannot imagine a better future, you will never have the courage to build one

2/ Failure Is a Teacher, Not a Destination Failure never means your journey is over.
It simply means something needs to change -your method, your preparation, or your perspective.
Learn. Improve. Try again.

Confidence built on praise disappears quickly.
Confidence built on knowledge, preparation, and hard work stays with you when things get difficult.

1/7) This is, without a doubt, the craziest “diabetes drug” ever invented.
It’s completed Phase II human clinical trials showing efficacy for reducing blood sugar and improving blood pressure. But the promise may extend far beyond that. In preclinical trials, it:
• Reduces fatty liver
• Increases energy expenditure
• Improves exercise endurance
• Cuts fat without sacrificing muscle
It’s called ATX-304. But how does it work?

2/7) The mechanism centers on one of the body’s master metabolic regulators: AMPK.
AMPK functions as a kind of cellular fuel gauge. When it’s “on,” it shifts the body away from energy storage and toward energy production—pulling fat out of fat cells and sugar out of the bloodstream and directing them toward muscles and energy output.
For that reason, AMPK has long been considered a highly desirable metabolic target.
There have been challenges (discussed in the full letter), but the key point is this:
ATX-304 appears to be a powerful AMPK activator. Now let’s look at some data.

3/7) In this study, researchers gave animals a high-fat, high-sugar diet to induce obesity.
One group (black triangles) was started on ATX-304. As you can see, ATX-304 almost completely prevented weight gain.
Then the researchers “flip-flopped” the groups at day 15—and later again. As you can see, treatment with ATX-304 either prevented weight gain or actively caused weight loss.
But what kind of weight was being lost?

If your authentication system has only been tested with the happy path…
You’re probably shipping vulnerabilities.
Most auth bugs don’t happen because someone entered the wrong password.
They happen because someone clicked Login 10 times.
Reused a refresh token.
Intercepted a reset link.
Abused a race condition.
Or found an edge case nobody on the team thought to test.
Here are 23 authentication edge cases every backend engineer should know before shipping.
Bookmark and share it will come handy while building.

Authentication isn’t just:
Email ➝ Password ➝ JWT ➝ Done.
It’s sessions.
Cookies.
Refresh tokens.
Password resets.
MFA.
OAuth.
Caching.
Distributed systems.
Concurrency.
Every single one introduces new attack surfaces.
Think beyond the login endpoint.

Impact:
Duplicate accounts.
Broken uniqueness checks.
Users unable to log in.
Lookalike accounts for phishing.
Fix:
• Trim inputs.
• Normalize Unicode (NFC/NFKC).
• Compare using a canonical form.
• Preserve the original value only for display.

This is the #cyprob meta-machine. The Independent is a total and utter rag these days, it took the article from Politis but this doesn’t stop @knews_cy @philenewscy and of course @politis_news too from playing with it like a cat with a dead mouse. 1/ #Cyprus
Holguin herself said (after the original Politis one plus others) that the reports were “rich in creativity” so why is everyone pretending that “a UK paper” found something new? To create news out of sand, that’s why. uncyprustalks.unmissions.org/en/news/messag…
If you don’t one what I am referring it here is @knews_cy today referring to a UK report, imishimou. 3/

As one of 20 clergy to vote against this, it worries me hugely that just at the time when our Jewish friends, neighbours, and fellow citizens need to know that the Established Church supports and upholds them, we look like we have abandoned them.
The most egregious part of the motion involved what is called the Kairos II Declaration, which is a document written completely in the light of Marxist ‘liberation theology’, framing Israel in all the language Marxists use to damn an oppressor.
The other documents come out of the deep misery of the situation of the Palestinian people but Kairos II, written after Oct 7, more or less justifies that genocidal act and frames it in a total condemnation of the existence of Israel or the presence of the Jews in the Holy Land.
Deleted the other pictures and gave them an updated picture 😁👍👍 LMFAO I am officially embracing the post about me 😁👍👍
